I picked up a hybrid TPU case from ebay about a week ago. Since I've had time to review it I wanted to leave some impressions for anyone who is looking at them.
Cost $8 shipped, arrived in only a few days.
This case is very similar to one of the Sprint cases offered except this one has a clear (frosted) hard plastic window instead of a purple one. This is a TPU case so the black bumper area is very soft and flexible (less than silicone but more than plastic). The hard plastic back shows off the textured battery door and logos as well as adds a hard impact protection to the back. This case slides into the pocket very easily, much more than silicone cases do, and looks very close to the phone when it is caseless.
Pros:
much easier to grip than caseless phone
adds minimal thickness
has a lip that protects glass when phone is face down
cut-outs are exact
almost looks caseless
cheap!
Cons:
seam on side where front and rear of case are fused
volume power buttons are covered and the smooth controls can difficult to feel
smooth black finish can appear cheap

thickness in mm?
Hi thanks for the pics, looks nice...how much is the thickness of the case itself in mm?
I'm guessing it's this one:

I have been looking for a new case for my dad and I. I used to have a TPU clear plastic case, and it works well, but it doesn't exactly have the impact protection (or comfort) that I would like.
I recently purchased the fishbone case and while I love the rubberized feel, the plastic casing it comes with feels incredibly flimsy and non protective (not to mention it doesn't fit on around the phone all the way).
Is there anything in a slimmer factor (so anything other than the Ballistics, and others like it) that would fit my needs? So far, I have only found hard plastic shells which I absolutely don't want, and the TPU cases, which I don't think my Dad would like.
Right now I am looking at the otterbox or a trident aegis case, but the aegis seems to look very bulky.
I just purchased three cases for my white e4gt. I got the ballistics case of course which I am still waiting on but I also ordered a similar case on Ebay because they offered it in white and black. It was only 13 bucks and its really nice. It offers great drop protection and isn't too thick. Here is the Link. The other one I got was the TPU and Plastic hybrid or whatever and that one sucks.

I was looking for two things when searching for a case for my Galaxy S3.
1. Protection
2. Thin profile
3. Functionality
This Case has it all. I've seen and tried many cases,, but it either has looks but no protection or protection with a lot of bulkiness.
Incipio Silicrylic hard case looks very nice, keeping a minimal thickness while maintaining its ability to protect the case. The silicon part
of the case fits snugly on the phone with all the button layouts perfectly placed. The hard shell has a nice soft feel to it and it secures the silicon
cover tightly. All the plugs are easily accessible, and no problem using the speakerphone function. Comes with a Screen protector that works very well.
This case definitely beats Otterbox commuter series.
If you are looking for a sleek case that looks sexy and offer very good protection, This case is for you!! If its just protection and only protection
then you can find other case that offers more.
Got mine from Amazon for $17.
This case will not disappoint.

This is a Review of Cruzerlite Bugdroid and Flame TPU cases for S5. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s5/bugdroid-circuit-tpu-case-for-galaxy-s5 and http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s5/flame-case-for-galaxy-s5
I know what you are going to say, uh, another TPU case for under $10. Probably true with a lot of other generic or re-branded cheap TPU cases. But this is Cruzerlite, and it's actually a quality with a precise fitment, great workmanship details (like all smooth rounded cutouts), and perfect alignment with all the ports. I have tested and used their cases with my other phones in the past, and was always satisfied with it. The color doesn't fade or gets "leaked" on to a white battery cover. They offer a nice thicker bumper with a decent lip to keep the screen off the surface when faced down, as well as a grip on the back to keep it from sliding off the table when placed face up. I would still consider it a light duty case, but it will give you a piece of mind if you drop it down indoors and in some situations outdoors. The bumper actually absorbs some shock to protect your phone. Plus, it fits well even if you have a tempered glass screen protector, and also it's easy in and out of the pocket. And of course, everybody who is familiar with Cruzerlite cases know they stand out with a cool design, Bugdroid being my personal favorite. Btw, Cruzerlite also makes really cool Android themed Plushies (I reviewed one in the past). Makes a cool present for anybody
Ok, here are the pictures.

I decided to swing by a T-mobile store and check out their cases for the V20. They had the Otterbox Defender - $59 , Tech21 Evo Check Case - $39 and the Incipio Dual Pro - $29. The Otterbox Defender offers the best protection you can get period but it is ginormous! The Tech21 was to expensive for basically a one piece tpu case imo. The Incipio Dual Pro is the perfect in-between size. Excellent 12ft drop protection, fits snugly, feels wonderful in the hand and is easy to install and remove . All the cut outs line up perfectly. The camera and fingerprint sensor are recessed and the lip around the screen is just the right height. At $30 its not cheap but the slimness and protection it provides is excellent.

I saw a red one at Verizon. Back was supper slippery.
The soft touch Plextonium material is both grippy and soft to the touch. Not slippery at all.
I got mine yesterday. So far so good.
I am liking this case.
I just wish Spigen had more of a variety as they do with other phones for the V20
Before i get my G6 i get case from Ringke. Case look nice and i think it will be perfect as on my G5. Edge of the case have carbon look. Also have good grip for better and safer feel in hand.
5?

Good job Ringke

I just got a Ringke Onyx today for my LG V20.
Although a different phone the case is basically the same as the G6.
It's made of TPU not soft silicon so is more what I would call a semi-rigid case.
The fit is tight and once it's on there's no way it will come off easily.
All cutouts are perfectly aligned and there should be no problem accommodating any headphone plug.
The rear cameras and power switch are plenty recessed to stop them getting damaged when the phone is laid flat, plus there's a substantial raised lip around the screen which should accommodate most screen protectors.
For the 8 GBP I paid I'd give the case 9 / 10.
